The employees in the civil service need to start funding their own pensions. They have had free ride at everyone else's expense for way too many decades. The country can not fully recover and thrive economically unless this problem is addressed.
Mr. Allen just does not get it with regards to the wealthy ex-pat residents. He is not alone of course. These wealthy residents choose to live here, not because of our high murder rate, not because of the threat to property from storms, not because of the academic achievement of the populace, but because they do not have to pay a high amount of taxes. That's it. Increase taxes too much and they will relocate to another country that offers a more welcoming tax regime. You never miss the water until the well run dry. These wealthy residents contribute much to our economy but Mr. Allen seems to want to risk driving them away. Let us hope his political ambitions fail.
How refreshing to get a straightforward and honest answer from one of the twenty thousand state employed workers whose salaries and pensions we have to pay for with our tax dollars. I could only wish that the other nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety nine ,or so, had the same level of courage and integrity.
This woman's stated position is indefensible, more it is pathetic. keep her out as long as possible, the country is better off without citizens who think that the primary job of an elected government is to cater to their needs and wants.
How do you spell "hard decisions"? Try T A X, the only question is will it be on income or Death tax also known as Estate tax. Since most of the present cabinet do not have very high income I will bet on the former.
